lightning_991 It blows in tier 10, which you will see in almost every match you play with tier 8s. It’s overrated and only recommended if you are really bad at high tier tanks in general.
I used to have a 112, and back when trade-ins were available, I actually traded my 112 for a 111 because on paper, the 111 is better. While the 111 is fun to play, I kinda wish I hadn’t traded my 112 for it, as it is definitely more durable, and statistically, it’s not even that much worse than the 111, and the differences are barely noticeable when playing.
Your not the first to ask this, but i dont get why? You get the raw number now, so you can see what will pen and what wont. VS Where does this 1 gun pen this 1 tank.
It’s a comparative thing, and helps at seeing what the effective thickness is on other portions of the tank. You look at the color and armor value displayed on what your mouse is, and you can estimate entire portions of the armor layout at a glance, or highlight the occasional pixel of a weakspot that could save your ass one way or another in a point-blank brawl.
Dont buy it, theres better tier 8 prem heavies like this you could buy. Its basically an IS or IS-2 at tier 8 but with a little more armor. It has pref mm but you will face tier 9 more often than usual because the only difference is that your tier 10 matches get replaced with tier 9 matches. (Pref mm is useless now)
It’s a completely different beast with BIA and Food (credit viable, provided you’re not HEAT spamming) — Then again, the maneuverability is lackadaisical on all but street terrain in the absence of those + at least one maneuvability crew skill. Armor is great in IS-7 engagement ranges (HE spam to the fuel tanks while side scraping can light it, especially if presenting the right side) and the more acute angles for peeking corners with the pike may either cuck friendlies ideal stacking alongside you, or require you to take the outside angle (more exposure) — Arty will treat you like the British, and you will get penned like the British, stiff upper Glacis notwithstanding. If you like the aesthetics, there’s not much compromised taking this over the 112 (though the pure penurious Scrooge2Play option of training your crews on the Type 64 is probably more XP efficient > Credit income.)
Got this tank for free on the ASIA server. They ran a special where you could earn tokens over a 2ish week period for the Alpine Tiger, which is a re-skinned WZ111
WZ-111 is a decent machine if you know how to utilize armour angling and hide the lower plate. The AP is decent, but the HEAT is very good (very finicky though, aim HEAT rounds carefully, and only as needed) I’d recommend vents, rammer, and then either laying drive, stabilizer, or spall liner. I personally run with vents, rammer and laying drive.
I own both tanks, and the 112 is way more forgiving ever since they buffed the lower plate from 80mm to 140mm. Gun is more derpy, sure, but you can afford to aim while the Wz111 you aren’t really allowed that luxury.
It is pretty pathetic that WG won’t sell the Type 59. They keep selling junk tanks. The only special sales so far have been the T-92 and the E25. Most of the tanks they are selling are available multiple times throughout the year and are not special. These guys really know how to depress their customers.
Come on WG, boringass christmas stuffz
For 40 euros you can buy a away better game than WoT
Hannibal yeah and play it for a month or two and not play it anymore
RAY RAY yea to be fair i always come back to this game for some reason

Thank’s, good info as always! 🙂

I have the 112, love it, so don’t need it 😛
stuff like this :3
Thanks, just starting down the Chinese heavy line, was really debating on these 2. very helpful
nice and usefull infos. thanks
We just got an ugly looking version of this for free last month on the ASIA server
I got it free during the event. Not a bad tank, not sure if it’s worth what they are asking for it.
What event?
The WZ-111 was one of the event tanks back 2 years ago. It was a similar to the event they had for the T25 Pilot earlier this year.
Nice, too bad i wasn’t playing Wot back then, It sounds like a pretty good tank.
Chandler Kristoff The missions were a lot harder back then tho
Would you recommend the object 252u defender?
who wouldnt it op as fuck

Day 14 and wargaming Christmas yawnfest continues….
Goddam it give us the black bulldog already!
Sean Zhu just paint the regular bulldog black /s
If this is the problem then there is no problem.
I’ll take the mobility over the armor.
I’ll also wait til Witch 3 is on sale again and spend that money there. Pocketbook will ONLY open for the 13-57
Damn you, that was my line! “Mexican Tank” – everyones going to think I watched your vid then recorded mine now :p
lol
Hahaha

Omg why did i buy it before watching this i thought 112 would be worse
it’s still a good tank, you just have to play it’s advantages. I love playing this tank.
PLEASE use the “live” mode for armour viewing…. It shows the chance to pen and angling soo much better than the standart

Already have that shit for free. And man does HEAT suck on that thing. Forget e75 lowe plate or is3 pike nose.
240pixel you can pen those with heat…. i do it quite regularly since i just 3 marked this tank
Rick van Boven you can if RNGesus help. For me it doesnt work.
112 is better 😉
Circon, you could have mentioned the 380m view range which is pretty nice for T8 heavies, especially in comparison to the soviet HTs (IS-3, IS-6,…)
come to us premium light tanks

175 mm pen…. You can pen some tier sixes. What a joke!
Its my Birthday yehhhhh
112>111 simple
112 is my pic
I could have shit out a better advent calendar than this. The only tank I have even thought about buying so far was the T92.
got it for free twice…in a marathon mission dont see why i need a 112 when i have the wz111…
I love my 111… but then I got her to get practice for the higher Chinese heavies and I feel she’s he closest to them all. Esp 5A.
The thing is though whilst it’s not the best tank you either have to buy this or the 112 for a crew trainer for the heavy line.
You will notice alot of Tier 8 tanks have Base 1,900 DPM
The good thing about this advent calendar is that we get a review of a tank everyday.
The bad thing is that mostly every deal so far sucks.
Next Trash Day. Thanks WG…
112 is beefcake
Got this tank for free on the ASIA server. They ran a special where you could earn tokens over a 2ish week period for the Alpine Tiger, which is a re-skinned WZ111
My 112 got a praise!? I am in disbelief
Juan Juan Dos es Better!!

For those who didn’t get an Alpine tiger just get this instead
What about the fires? Ammo rack true enough but 112 at least likes to burn more than I’d like. Does Juan burn too?
